I think we are all in agreement on this, with the only multiple options (OCB
and EAX) being present largely to address patent concerns, as Werner said
earlier.

FWIW I believe the pros and cons of the different AEAD ciphers are of
very minor relevance, yet the algorithm zoo is a big downside. From what
I know openpgp has still not published a standardized AEAD. My proposal
would be to choose one and only one AEAD and declare all other
algorithms as deprecated. And which one almost doesn't matter. And I'm
pretty sure Jason would agree with me on that, but feel free to ask him.
+1 to that. Even though the semantics of deprecated for
mail and pgp applications in general is tricky, I think
this'd make sense.
